Thursday Memo: Take our toke poll … Snow dump … Schram

Let’s see, in our hip and trending state, same-sex marriage and marijuana use are now officially legal. We imagine many people have said or will soon be saying, “I do” and “I doobie.” King County says 279 marriage licenses were issued by 6 a.m. today. And for a bit of context on marijuana, Associated Press writer Gene Johnson has written a “history of weed” in the U.S., going back to the days when George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew hemp. Nice read.

Marijuana poll: Even if you never used marijuana before, have you considered using it now that it’s legal? Vote in our poll.
